```

If you want to use a Let's Encrypt TLS Certificate for your UniFi Network Controller then you can use the following commands to import the certificate into UniFi, although you will need to remember to renew it every 90 days (you can put this into a script and call it from the certbot cronjob using "--deploy-hook /etc/certbot-renew.sh"):

```

sudo openssl pkcs12 -export -in "/etc/letsencrypt/live/${DOMAIN}/fullchain.pem" -inkey "/etc/letsencrypt/live/${DOMAIN}/privkey.pem" \

  -out "/var/lib/unifi/pkcs12.tmp" -passout pass:"aircontrolenterprise" -name "unifi"

sudo chown unifi:unifi /var/lib/unifi/pkcs12.tmp

sudo cp /var/lib/unifi/keystore /var/lib/unifi/keystore.bak

sudo podman exec -it unifi keytool -delete -alias "unifi" -keystore "/var/lib/unifi/keystore" -deststorepass "aircontrolenterprise"

sudo podman exec -it unifi keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore "/var/lib/unifi/pkcs12.tmp" -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass "aircontrolenterprise" \

  -destkeystore "/var/lib/unifi/keystore" -deststorepass "aircontrolenterprise" -destkeypass "aircontrolenterprise" -alias "unifi" -trustcacerts

sudo systemctl restart unifi

```
